to the local crisis nursery, but after calling them to ask what they needed, it became clear that they had plenty of blankets but were in need of baby clothes, specifically onesies.

The idea followed that plain onesies were OK, but

handmade custom decorated onesies were THE BOMB!!

What baby wouldn't love to be wearing this work of art!!

This was the first set we did. I abandoned

taking pictures for drawing on my own "fashion line".

I drew this crabbie!!

I wrapped them up in the cutest tissue paper

with a big bow and we delivered them along with a

bunch of formula, diapers, and baby food. They were so excited to get them - it was cute.

I am not pretending that we are

the perfect example all the time for our daughter.

As the only child, we indulge her on a regular basis.

However, the awareness that comes with doing for others

and executing a project that will help someone else, is

now, and always will be, a priority in our home.

I just want her to be a nice kid who turns into a niceperson. Someone who opens doors for old ladies and smiles for no reason at strangers. Someone who thinks of things to do for others and then does them.

Sure, Sophia is lucky, she has a playroomfull of toys and a room full of the latest and greatest. We go fun places and docrazy fun things but someday that all will be old news and whatwill be left behind???
